Using secondary data from the European Commission\u2019s report Benchmarking the Socio-Economic Performance of the EU Social Economy, complemented by national sources, the study provides a comparative overview of the composition of social economy entities. The results highlight differences in the prevalence of associations, foundations, and registered social enterprises across the V4 countries and show that, despite contributing to job creation, their employment share remains modest. The findings confirm that the sector is still at an early stage of development in the V4 region.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Key words:<\/strong> Social economy. Non-profit entities. Visegrad countries.
